charset attribute is not being recognized?

In step 4/6 of this challenge, the charset attribute of utf-8 is not being recognized. I've tested the live preview on workspace, and it works perfectly fine. Possibly an error with the challenge itself?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset = "utf-8">
        <title> James Ha | Designer </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <h1>James Ha</h1>
            <h2>Designer</h2>
        </header>
        <section>
            <p>Gallery will go here</p>
        </section>
        <footer>

        </footer>
    </body>

Hey James,

Try taking away the spaces after charset. it should read like this so no spaces. <meta charset="utf-8">

Hey Jake!

I've removed the space after charset and still run into the same error.
